Stirlingshire / Re: Laird & McLuckie

Hi
I have just joined this site and noticed this old thread. I am interested in the Robert Laird who married Margaret Cowan. Many of the posts query why the gap in births of 12 years between John (B 1712 ) and Helen (B 1725). This was the time of the Jacobite uprisings and my assumption is that this Robert may have been in prison for those years, hence the gap.
Some folk also have Margaret Cowan as being born in 1704, I think I can state this is incorrect as she was married in 1706! Some folk need to check their dates.
What I am interested in is:-
1) Does anyone have any death records for the Lairds before 1800 in St Ninian or Larbert?
2) Does anyone have any records for marriages or births for the Lairds prior to 1687?
3) I have noticed some trees have pictures purporting to be Lairds prior to 1687, does anyone have these and where did they come from?
